Max Coyer was best known for his paintings, which he referred to as "synthetic art," his theory and name for the current art movement, in which he proclaimed the split between academic and modernist art to be at an end. That new art was "synthetic" - influenced heavily by both movements and with neither of their methods (figurative and abstract, respectively), but an amalgamation of both. Coyer studied poetry at Trinity College, Hartford, Connecticut. Coyer's work has been exhibited all over the country and the remainder of his work now resides with his family in Connecticut, who are beginning to allow showings once again.
